The efforts of local activists led by Claire Dale, shown here in 1963, resulted in the inclusion of Union Station on the National Register of Historic Places in June 1971. Because of New London preservationists, today the city claims one of the oldest operating train stations along the Northeast Corridor.

Title A name given to the resource Only Yesterday Subject The topic of the resource Description An account of the resource These glimpses into the past were periodically published in the New London Day Newspaper, as a reminder of this city’s rich historical background and an ever-present Union Station throughout. While little has changed in its outward appearance over time, the flagpole visible in front of the station and the footbridge behind it no longer exist. The photograph showing presidential candidate Wendell Willkie speaking in front of Union Station, and the photograph of troops preparing to board a train on the platform, connect New London’s history to the history of the nation.

Title A name given to the resource Congregation Beth El Description An account of the resource Founded in 1924 in hopes of a more “modern and more inclusive form of worship,” Congregation Beth El remains a vibrant presence in Jewish life in New London to this day. In 1925, the congregation purchased the Prest House at 60 Blackhall St, which had previously been the Jewish Community Center. However, as both the congregation and the overall Jewish community in New London shrank over the next century, Congregation Beth El found that the Prest House had become too big and difficult to maintain. In 2017, the building was purchased by an educational resource center called Learn. Currently, Congregation Beth EL does not have a permanent location.

Title A name given to the resource The Lyman Allyn Art Museum, est. 1926 Description An account of the resource The Museum was established in 1926 as a gift of New London resident Harriet Allyn in honor of her father and opened its doors in 1932. Allyn’s father, Captain Lyman Allyn, began his career in whaling and eventually branched out into the banking, insurance, and railroad industries. Harriet Allyn bequeathed funds for the Museum in her will, which also donated land to the Connecticut College for Women, and the Museum still has a close relationship with the College today. Architect Charles A. Platt was hired “to design an elegant neo-classical granite structure on a hill overlooking New London and the Thames River." At the time of opening, the Museum held thirteen works but it now is home to 17,000 pieces of American art. The Lyman Allyn prides itself on providing art education to local school children as budgets for art education programs are cut.
